Cooperative Processing Commands › CONFIRMED

CONFIRMED

Purpose

Sends a confirmation reply to the remote dialog.

Syntax

►►───── CONFIRMED ── . ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────►◄

Usage

CONFIRMED sends all data in the communications buffers to the remote program.

Note: CONFIRMED is sent in response to CONFIRM only.

Considerations

• Before CONFIRMED can be issued, the conversation must have a synchronization level of CONFIRM: SYNC-LEVEL CONFIRM on the ALLOCATE command.
• When using CONFIRM to synchronize processing between 2 programs
  • If the local dialog received all data sent, it returns CONFIRMED.
  • If the local dialog can't process the data due to an application-level error, it returns SEND-ERROR.
• To check the status of a conversation

  Test the system fields: APPCCODE and WHAT-RECEIVED.

Example

In response to the preceding CONFIRM example, the remote program would issue:

RECEIVE-AND-WAIT EMPLOYEE-RECORD.
IF APPCCODE EQ ZERO
  THEN
  DO.
  RECEIVE-AND-WAIT.
  IF APPCCODE EQ ZERO AND WHAT-RECEIVED EQ 'CONFIRM'
    THEN
    CONFIRMED.
  END.
